MORTGAGE RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOW LEVELS
June 11th, 2012
The MBS Market closed last week trading down (-37 bps), but closed Monday (+25 bps).
Overall rates are very similar to the record low rates hit last Friday.
Over the weekend, Spain agreed on a 125 billion bailout. Spain is the 4th of 17 countries in the European currency union to need a bail out. This move pushed stocks down on Monday demonstrating that investors are still very concerned regarding this ongoing crisis.
Some think that Italy may need a bail out next. Greece will be voting next Sunday to form a new government. This ongoing chaos in Europe is bad for the stock markets, but good for interest rates.
I feel that these low rates should be available this whole week and don’t see them going up much until there is some improvement in the European debt situation.
